WWE: 5 reasons The Fiend might turn on Alexa Bliss

The Fiend and Alexa Bliss have been inseparable over the last couple of months, but WWE can't keep this going forever. However, between The Fiend being expected to return to television in the coming weeks, and Alexa Bliss starting to gain powers of her own, it seems like this storyline is starting to head forward once again.

While that means there is a lot of great storytelling in store for WWE fans, it also may force the company to eventually split the two up, somewhere down the road. This might be difficult given how popular the pair is as an attraction, but could be accomplished under the right circumstances.

With that being said, and WrestleMania season right around the corner, here are five reasons WWE could have The Fiend turn on Alexa Bliss. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and be sure to tell us how you think the pair will finally go their separate ways.

#5. The Fiend no longer needing Alexa Bliss

What will WWE do when Alexa Bliss is no longer of use to The Fiend?

How much longer with The Fiend need the services of Alexa Bliss? While the two seem destined to run the Firefly Funhouse for the foreseeable future, there will come a time when they are simply no longer useful to each other. The question is, who will overstay their welcome first?

It is possible for Bliss to no longer need The Fiend, but the more interesting scenario would be the reverse. What would happen to Bliss once The Fiend abandons her? What will the long-term effects of his influence be and how will WWE incorporate that into Bliss' new personality?

The Fiend no longer needing Alexa Bliss would be a great storyline all on its own and the exact nature of why she would be no longer useful to The Fiend leaves a lot to explore.

#4. Alexa Bliss costs The Fiend an important match

WWE having Alexa Bliss cost The Fiend a match could be a reason for the 2 to split up.

One of the easiest ways for WWE to create issues between The Fiend and Alexa Bliss is for the former Women's Champion to cost her new friend an important match. Not only will this force the character into weighing up the pros and cons of his partnership with Bliss, but it also allows her to slowly become a babyface again.

The problem with this scenario, though, is that it would almost have to happen during a title shot or number one contender's match. While that might sound like a simple way for The Fiend to be protected in defeat, fans will be angry if WWE doesn't find a way to get the character back into the title picture.

In the end, Bliss costing The Fiend a match would be controversial no matter what, but it could be a way to move the ball forward in the storyline. It would also be a chance for Bliss to go off on her own again, and maybe even challenge for the Women's title for the first time in a while.

#3. Alexa Bliss resisting The Fiend's mind control

How will WWE have Alexa Bliss take back control of her mind from The Fiend?

The Fiend seems to have a strong hold on Alexa Bliss, and WWE hasn't shown any sign of that changing anytime soon. When they eventually do decide to change this, however, one has to wonder how they will transition Bliss from The Fiend's mind control victim, to her own unique personality again?

An obvious way to do this is to start having Bliss resist The Fiend's programming, and try to think for herself as an individual character. Not only will this create an eventual payoff where Bliss finally breaks the spell, it also gives fans a solid reason to root for her as she separates herself from The Fiend.

WWE having Bliss fight The Fiend's control could end up being some of the best storytelling they have produced in years. It might even be enough to move the needle forward when it comes to viewership. It all really comes down to how the company tells the story, and how believable it is when put together.

#2. Bliss falls in love with The Fiend

Is WWE slowly having Alexa Bliss fall in love with The Fiend?

Remember when WWE had everyone thinking Alexa Bliss was in love with The Fiend after she tried to kiss him? Although it was just a short moment in screen time on a throwaway episode of SmackDown, it was enough to hook fans on the idea of WWE wanting these two to become a couple.

Unfortunately for fans everywhere, that never ended up happening, and the pair would take on more of a friendship type of role. Furthermore, a love storyline has barely even been hinted at, which is why it would be even more of a welcomed surprise if WWE was willing to do something along those lines.

Many fans would enjoy a love storyline between these two, and they should get one. The company could even have The Fiend try to resist Bliss' advances and eventually decide to rid himself of the distraction. At least that way, The Fiend can show his mean streak, Bliss can come across as a sympathetic babyface, and fans can get the storyline they always wanted.

#1. WWE trying to make Alexa Bliss the new Sister Abigail

Is WWE trying to turn Alexa Bliss into the next Sister Abigail?

What if WWE had Alexa Bliss do the unthinkable to The Fiend, and tried to replace Sister Abigail? Not only would that create instant tension between The Fiend and Alexa Bliss, it also gives the company the chance to tell the full story of The Fiend's guiding light in this world.

Sister Abigail has been a center piece of the Bray Wyatt gimmick, but not a lot is really known about her. This leaves crucial questions to The Fiend's backstory still unanswered and gives WWE the chance to finally tell the story properly.

Alexa Bliss trying to replace Sister Abigail would be the biggest sin that Bliss could commit, and would create a lot of options for future storylines. It also allows Bliss to stay as a heel character, and maybe even retain her powers to some extent. That last part might sound like a stretch, but it all depends on the rules of The Fiend's powers, and how long they affect other people.
